How close to your face does the mirror need to be to see well? Arms length or closer? Thanks.

I am in my fifties, so I would say closer than arm length ..... It is really great for putting on makeup!!

I sit at a desk or table when using. I have 20/20 vision I can see the small peach fuzz on face at arms length with the 10x magnification side. I use it to tweeze unwanted hairs on face and to apply makeup. I hope this helps.

I think it's different for each person. For me I have to be pretty close. Just keep trying & you'll get the right distance for you.

I love the mirror for my face. It is difficult to see your hair when you are using it and does cause distortion easily.

I installed this mirror for a client about 6 months ago. As I recall the mirror extended approximately 12" to 14" from the mounting surface.

No hard and fast rule. It's a question of aesthetics. It's a good idea to have the mirror in place if this is going at a bathroom vanity. See how the light(s) are in relation to the mirror. Then determine what is a comfortable height for them in relation to your eye level. The end result is a combination of these two factors. Good luck.

There are three different dimensions listed for this mirror. I just want to know what is the exact width of the mirror itself? May 14, 2014 The actual width of the mirror itself is 7". Surrounding the mirror is a 1" opaque area which is illuminated by the LED lights. That brings the total width to 9". 20" is the measurement of the furthest side of the mirror from the wall: i.e. the extension when used extends about 11" + 9" mirror diameter = 20" total. The mirror does fold quite flat to the base / wall. This is a great mirror / good weight / nice quality.

The regular side of the mirror is 8 3/4 inches inside the frame. The magnified side is a little over 8 inches. It's very large overall and easy to see into.

Better to use a magnifying mirror that has a light built in. Much more effective for seeing her face close up!

the person who is going to use the mirror has to stand holding the mirror in front of the face and place the mirror on the wall at that height making sure that can still see yourself in the mirror, mark the height with a pencil and work the screws after that. I use this mirror everyday to apply my makeup after I take a shower so I measured without shoes.

about 12 to 14 inches....best mirror i have ever bought, especially for traveling as it comes apart and lays flat in your suitcase.

I returned them (I had ordered two) because they would've looked better if installed recessed, which I didn't want (wasn't about to break into the walls!) so I decided to get mirrors only (still looking for them!) but I can tell you that in my opinion there's plenty of mirror space,the frame is relatively not that big, I don't think that would be an issue, but then, it's a matter of personal taste. Good luck.

Please note that the dimensions are presented on the Amazon Product Info section: about 15" in diameter. And I found the mirror very helpful addressing my needs.

Well, it's not _my_ mirror, I just bought one, but would hazard a guess that there is a good change that it would if the thickness of your mirror is more in the middle.

I'd take a piece of cardboard and make it the size of this mirror. Sit at your table in the chair you'd use and see where it locates in your eyesight. Too many variables for an answer like the height of table, height of chair, and your height too!!

I'm not sure that I understand your question, so I'll try to answer the various aspects of it. The actual mirror - outside mirror bracket to outside mirror bracket - is 9 & 7/8 inches; however, the folding arm extension to base plate takes nearly an 11 inch wall space. This is important because it needs to be in an area that it can fold flat against the wall, so that no one walking/moving around the area can walk into the mirror or the extension.

No but you can tilt the mirror quite far. I've never thought it wasn't tall enough (or conversely, too short).

The mirror is 3" across and that is a very small viewing area. Too small for me and I returned it.

The straight part of the mirror that sits on the front of your chest is approximately 6 inches. When the mirror is folded flat with the loop around the mirror it is approximately 12" overall. The mirror portion can also be tilted when it is around the neck to provide a complete view of the back of the head. I use mine daily for styling the back of my hair.
